About Ramayana
For the unversed, Ramayana is based on sage Valmiki’s epic of the same name. Prior to Nitesh, Om Raut had also attempted a cinematic adaptation, titled Adipurush (2023), which failed to resonate with the audiences. Apart from its lukewarm box office response, the movie was trolled for its bad VFX and distorting ancient characters. The movie featured Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, Saif Ali Khan in lead roles.
